Adding Kamidana To Your Life

Embracing Tidiness, Finding Peace From Chaos.

So, I’ve been reviewing this month, and man, I’ve gotta admit, it’s been a bit of a mess. You know how sometimes your plans just don’t line up? Well, that’s been me. My study plans went out the window, and my projects? Yeah, they’re still chilling in the same spot they were last month. It’s like my events weren’t syncing up with my intentions, just like those random objects lying around without a designated home.

Feeling frustrated and needing a break from the chaos, I decided to watch the movie “Merry Christmas.” It was like hitting pause on the madness, giving me a chance to reset, marking a clear before and after in my month.

Now that I’m back to reality, I’m thinking about getting back into my routines, starting with my evening ritual, or as I like to call it, my “dostadnang.” It’s funny how a simple act like tidying up can have such a profound impact. Remember that chat I had with someone about tidying? They explained it as making sure things find their place, almost like giving them a sense of security. It’s kinda like having a superhero called Tidela, swooping in to save the day, versus that messy monster Toykle.

You know, Benjamin Franklin once said, “A place for everything, everything in its place.” Wise words, right? And it’s not just about physical stuff; it’s about organizing your thoughts, your feelings, your whole vibe.

Then there’s this other quote that really hit home for me: “When time and space and change converge, we find place. We arrive in Place when we resolve things. Place is peace of mind and understanding. Place is knowledge of self.” Deep, huh? To me, it’s all about finding that inner harmony, knowing who you are, and finding peace amidst the chaos.

And hey, speaking of finding peace, have you heard about the Japanese concept of “kamidana”? It’s like having a special spot in your home where you offer up gratitude and respect. Pretty cool, right? It’s like giving your belongings a VIP spot, showing them some love and dignity.

Before I go, let me share something else I stumbled upon: www.Flylady.net. They’re all about weekly blessings, where you take a moment to put things back where they belong. And then there’s this thing called the “27 boogie fling,” where you declutter like there’s no tomorrow. It’s all about creating space, both physically and mentally.

And you know, finding a home for things we no longer need is also part of our gratitude and responsibility. It’s about acknowledging their service and letting them go gracefully, making room for new experiences and opportunities.

So yeah, as I dive into this journey of tidying up and finding my zen, I’m reminded that sometimes, it’s the little things—like putting your keys in the same spot every day—that can make a world of difference. Here’s to embracing the chaos and finding peace within it.
